  NFL | Adrian Peterson not retiring yet    Wed May 24, 02:01 PM

Free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Seahawks) is not ready to retire yet but will do so if he doesn't land with a team in 2023, he said on Tuesday, May 23.

Footballguys view: Peterson is bound for the Pro Football Hall of Fame five years after his playing days are officially done. He last played for the Seahawks in late 2021, and Peterson did not find a spot to play in 2022. We'll see if some team wants to bring in the 38-year old veteran.

  NFL | Adrian Peterson hopes to play in 2022    Wed Jul 13, 01:20 PM

Free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Seahawks) hopes to play again in 2022, he said in a recent press conference for an upcoming boxing match with fellow free-agent RB, Le'Veon Bell.

Footballguys view: Peterson is taking a different approach from Bell. While Bell says he's done with football, Peterson still is putting it out there that he wants to play. We'll see if a team gets running back needy with training camp (and potential injuries) coming up.

  Seahawks | Adrian Peterson to be activated    Sat Dec 4, 11:47 AM

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks RB Adrian Peterson will be activated from the practice squad in time for Week 13's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Seattle needed veteran depth, especially with Alex Collins (core), Rashaad Penny (hamstring), and Travis Homer (calf) all questionable. Against the 49ers in Week 13, Peterson may get some work in this jam-packed backfield but none are great fantasy options.

Footballguys view: Alex Collins (core), Rashaad Penny (hamstring), and Travis Homer (calf) are all questionable but it seems like they may play. Peterson has been activated off the practice squad and may get a small handful of carries against the 49ers in Week 13.

  Seahawks | Adrian Peterson joins Seattle    Thu Dec 2, 01:48 AM

The Seattle Seahawks signed free agent RB Adrian Peterson (Titans) to the practice squad on Wednesday, Dec. 1.

Footballguys view: The Seahawks have Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas, so signing Peterson is just for veteran depth. He didn't do much with the Titans and gets another shot to keep playing.

  Seahawks | Adrian Peterson visiting    Wed Dec 1, 02:48 PM

Free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Titans) is meeting with the Seattle Seahawks Monday, Dec. 1, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Footballguys view: Peterson's time with the Titans did not last long. The veteran is near the end of his storied career, but the Seahawks may have interest. In three games with the Titans, Peterson averaged three yards per carry and did not impress. Seattle could use him as veteran depth behind Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas.

  Titans | Adrian Peterson promoted    Fri Nov 5, 10:47 AM

Tennessee Titans RB Adrian Peterson was promoted to the active roster Friday, Nov. 5, and it's a permanent move after he impressed the team.

Footballguys view: D'Onta Foreman could get the ceremonial start because he knows the system from a previous stint with the Titans, but Peterson will get a chance to earn as much as he merits, perhaps as early as Sunday night.

  Titans | Adrian Peterson to Titans    Tue Nov 2, 12:55 PM

Updating previous reports, free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Lions) signed with the Tennessee Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Footballguys view: Peterson will work with Jeremy McNichols in the Titans backfield now that Derrick Henry is out with a foot injury. We should see him get a hefty workload on early downs when he's up to speed in the offense. McNichols can get work as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. If Peterson is the primary runner, he has flex appeal for Fantasy GMs based on the Titans offense and the size his workload could be.

  Titans | Adrian Peterson agrees to join Tennessee    Mon Nov 1, 02:49 PM

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Lions) was signed to the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans on Monday, Nov. 1.

Footballguys view: The move was expected with Derrick Henry having foot surgery and likely to miss the rest of the regular season. We will see the Titans move forward with a greater emphasis on the passing game without Henry. Peterson is going to earn a large role on early downs once he's up to speed in the offense. He will split time with Jeremy McNichols in the Titans backfield.

  Titans | Adrian Peterson set to work out for Tennessee    Mon Nov 1, 01:38 PM

Free-agent RB Adrian Peterson is expected to work out for the Tennessee Titans later this week after learning Derrick Henry (foot) will be sidelined for at least six weeks with a fractured bone in his foot.

Footballguys view: Adrian Peterson is the perfect type of back to plug-and-play in the Titans system. He can still produce on the ground, especially in between the tackles. If signed, Peterson could be the lead back for Tennessee as they prepare to play the next couple of months (approximately) without Henry.

  NFL | Adrian Peterson wants to play    Fri Jul 16, 05:18 PM

Free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Lions) said he has been working out and is waiting for a team to sign him. He said his body feels good and is ready to play in 2021.

Footballguys view: Peterson might not be on a roster to start the season, but his tried and true ability to handle a heavy workload and put stress on a defense will likely get him calls during the season when teams are looking at playing inexperienced players in the backfield because of injuries.

  NFL | Adrian Peterson feeling fit, ready    Fri Jul 16, 01:04 PM

Free agent RB Adrian Peterson says he's fit and is ready to go as he awaits a call from an NFL team. 'The training is going well and I'm going to control the things that I can control right now, and, when that time comes, somebody will give me a call,' Peterson said in an interview Thursday, July 15. 'That's all I'm asking for. My body feels good. I came out healthy from last season. My body feels strong. I still feel young. I still feel good. I'm ready to play ball.'

Footballguys view: Peterson is just patiently waiting for a team to show interest. The veteran can still play and produce if called upon, and there should be somebody out there who wants to pick him up. Perhaps when injuries hit in training camp and the preseason we'll see a team pick up Peterson. He's looking for a contender to join as a role player.

  Lions | Adrian Peterson set for another year in Detroit?    Thu Feb 4, 03:09 PM

Detroit Lions RB Adrian Peterson is set to become a free agent at the end of the league year, but fellow RB D'Andre Swift has made it clear he would like to see the soon-to-be 36-year-old return to the team for another year.'I definitely want him back,' Swift told CBS Sports while noting that he 'picked (Peterson's) brain' throughout his rookie year.

Footballguys view: The Lions are going to run the ball early and often. With QB Jared Goff under center, expect new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn to set up the rushing attack to be the primary feature in the offense. That means plenty of work for Swift, but keeping a guy like Peterson would make sense too.

  Lions | Detroit's offense strong in loss    Sun Jan 3, 05:29 PM

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford went 20-for-31 for 293 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. RB Adrian Peterson rushed for 63 yards and one touchdown on seven carries, while RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 54 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries. WR Marvin Jones caught eight passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets, while WR Quintez Cephus caught two passes for 51 yards and one touchdown on three targets.

Footballguys view: Stafford looked great despite playing with a myriad of injuries. He should be on the trade market as the Lions look to the future in a rebuilding moment. They'll hire a new head coach and general manager this offseason and Stafford is probably at the very end of his prime. Jones will also be a free agent and can still start elsewhere.

Detroit Lions RB Adrian Peterson rushed for 18 yards on seven carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11.

Footballguys view: The Panthers had been surrendering some huge fantasy games to running backs this year, but the Lions run blocking could not open any holes for Peterson. He's only a deep desperation play against the Texans even if D'Andre Swift isn't cleared to play.

Footballguys view: Peterson still has a high ceiling because of the suspect Panthers run defense and his ability to get in a groove when he is fed. Johnson has a little what the heck flex appeal in PPR leagues.

  Lions | D'Andre Swift's role growing    Tue Nov 10, 11:02 PM

Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift has played more snaps than RB Adrian Peterson in each of the last three games.

Footballguys view: Let's see if that trend continues for the Lions. Swift is the best back they have on their roster and he can damage a defense as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. Fantasy GMs can look to Swift as a RB2 or flex play.
